im in my 40s now, but I was trained by a coach who was trained by Lydiard in my teens. I just instinctively do this technique even now on hills in races. And my training programme is still based on this formula. In races no one can pass me on hills and I can make up time on them. I also do heavy spin classes for the same effect when injured. BUT, downhill is a different story! Never nailed that. Was always up hill and speed and long runs... downhill I lose the pace
These bounds counteract the tendency for endurance runners to use knee flexion only to pass the drive leg under the body. Generating more force on the ground, extending the leg and locking the knee allows the quad to fully extend and less strain on the patellar since it gets disengaged when straight
It depends on the runner and said runner’s experience and muscular coordination. It’s better to start with a short amount of time-for any type of running / running drill - and add time as you adapt.

Nice work and training ❤

For How much time doing hills or each hill exercise?

I need to see this in real time motion to make sense of it. Everyone looks very peculiar in slow motion.
